Remake of the original Lost Beacons game that participated in 2017 js13kGames competition here.
I've smoothed some corners and added a few features.

GAME IMPROVEMENTS

Here is a short list of improvements made to the game:

  • Improved overall performance
    • Caching font characters
    • Optimized AI units management
    • Invisible objects (e.i. those that aren't in viewport) aren't rendered
  • Design
    • Cursor:
      • Replaced browser cursor by the in-game one (canvas-rendered)
      • Borderless selection rectangle
    • Redesigned & simplified minimap
    • Simplified main HUD (below the screen)
    • Colors of map now dynamically changed on every new game level
    • Maps now have no obstacles on the borders
  • Gameplay:
    • Wins indefinitely if all beacons are captured
    • New units: Destructor, Killer, Beast
    • Empowered and balanced AI performance

DISABLED FEATURES

Please don't worry if you find something is missing.
Several features from the original game were intentionally turned off due to
performance loss.
